SO I was reading one of those is Drain Life=Mind flay post, and they actually brought up a good point. Shadow Bolt really dosn't feel like it is a good affliction filler. Now Mind you i am not saying they should make Drain Life the filler, as that would make locks basicly spreists, but rather that they should change Shadow Bolt slightly. My Idea is pretty simple, rather then have Shadow Bolt deal inital damage like it dose now(cast the spell and damage happens),why not make it so that Shadow Bolt deals its damage like a dot. Basicly if you cast the spell, when it hits it adds a dot that deals the same damage, but over like 6 seconds. This way shadow bolt would benifit from afflictons mastery, SE, and Haunt. One thing about it though is that an effect like this would have to stack like ignite, which again is not a realy problem. It would be pretty easy to implament, and as burst damage is almost a non point in 85 pvp, it would have little effect on afflicton pvp.
